This year Theme is
“Prevent Kitchen Fires”
Cooking is the number one cause of home fires. This year highlights are recognizing the dangers of unattended cooking and risky kitchen habits.
Here are a few tips to help keep you and your family safe:
*Keep an eye on what you fry. If you need to leave, even for a short time, turn off the stove or oven.
*Stay alert to avoid stirring up trouble in the kitchen. Don’t use the oven or stovetop if you are sleepy or have consumed alcohol.
* Keep kids at least 3 feet away from the stove and always have the pot handle turned in.
* Make sure flammable objects are not near the stove.
* Be ready to react fast to a cooking fire. Have a fire extinguisher nearby and know how to use it! But when in doubt, just get out!
